Hello,
I have a Lenovo G505 Windows 7 64bit laptop with an AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.50 GHz processor, 8.00 GB RAM and a terabyte harddisk. The Windows Experience Index score on the laptop then was 5.9 with the following:
Processor: 6.9
Memory (RAM): 6.7
Graphics: 6.9
Gaming Graphics: 6.9
Primary hard disk: 5.9
I used it primarily for playing games, the majority of which the laptop could easily handle on medium graphics/texture settings.
I decided to do a complete reboot lately and installed Windows 8 to try it out and soon decided it wasn't for me. Afterwards, I went back to Windows 7. However, my WEI score is now 4.8 with the following:
Processor: 5.0
Memory (RAM): 6.5
Graphics: 4.8
Gaming graphics: 6.1
Primary hard disk: 5.9
I've updated all of my drivers from the Lenovo site itself, installed any required updates, and installed the latest AMD Catalyst driver, with no luck on improving the WEI score. I know the laptop is capable of reaching 5.9 again, and I have no idea how the previous owner got it to be so high, but I've had absolutely no luck in reaching the same score again. I'm especially confused over how the processor score has gotten so low, and I'm reluctant to try any games again in case the performance has been affected, and I don't want to be let down.
I'd really appreciate some help in this.
